I got this frame off the forum a number of years ago now. Having sorted an issue with the derailleur hanger (threads are stripped so it required an insert) I built it as a road bike. It is stiff, responsive and great fun.

Unfortunately, someone then tried to break a lock off the rear stay causing a dent (see second picture). I have not ridden it since then.

As such, it is sitting around my house not getting used and generally in the way. I don't know if it is rideable or not, so if anyone wants it and intends to ride it do so at your own risk and it would probably be sensible to get it checked out first.

First to collect it from N22 is welcome to it. Alternatively I could probably bring it in to EC4 and hand it over there.

To add - I haven't measured it up and can't find original ad for sizes. It is 60cm tt. Was good for me and I am 6ft 5".

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
